Learning Skills

This term, the Grade 5 focus for learning skills and work habits will be on organization and collaboration.Collaboration
Consider how well your child:
• accepts various roles and an equitable share of the work within a group;
• responds positively to the ideas, opinions, values, and traditions of others;
• builds healthy peer relationships;
• works with others to resolves conflicts and builds consensus to achieve group goals; and
• shares information, resources, and expertise to solve problems and make decisions.

Organization
Consider how well your child:
• creates and follows a plan to complete work and tasks;
• establishes priorities and manages time to achieve goals; and
• gathers, evaluates and uses information, technology and resources to complete tasks.

Keeping with this theme of collaboration, we are working as a grade to THINK before we speak. We joined all three classes to collaborate on a Padlet. We are all working together to create a welcoming and positive learning environment for all.
